My Repair & Advice

Due to burnt wires, the whole wire harness had to be replaced as well as the power cord. The dryer was taken apart, removing the control panel and drum to access all of the wires and connection points. The old wire harness removed and the new wire harness installed. This was done systematically so as to ensure the new wire harness followed the exact same routing.

My Repair & Advice

I had a humming sound when I pressed the start button on my whirlpool dryer. Went on line and determined that it could be due to a bad door switch . I called appliance parts pro on a Sunday expecting to get a recording ,instead a helpful rep took the order and remarkably got the door switch on Tuesday . Under the part on their website was a fantastic video taking you step by step to remove door top of dryer and switch. In all it took me less than 15 minutes. On a scale of 1-10 I would put it at 1 for extremely easy. The best part is I saved at least $150 dollars for house call and part. Thank you appliance part pros … a returning thankful customer ....

AnswerJackie,
To change the dryer cord you will access the terminal block. There will be a grounding strap on the center terminal that will connect from the center terminal to where the ground wire on the 4 wire cord is connected. The center wire of the 3 prong wire will go to the center post and the other 2 on the outer posts.

AnswerHello Wendell. In America, the outlet should read 244 volts and you will use a 240 volt cord. If the voltage is 250 or higher, you need an electrican to repair the voltage issue to use the 240 volt dryer.
